Services

St. Mary’s Health Clinics, a ministry of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, provide free health care services to many uninsured persons. Services provided by St. Mary’s Health Clinics include the patient’s visit to the clinic, lab tests, xrays, diagnostic tests, and most medications. Specialty referrals are provided to the patient without charge through coordinated efforts with area health care providers. Patients who are eligible, are assisted with applications for Minnesota Health Care Programs such as MinnesotaCare or Medical Assistance.

Our clinics are staffed by licensed physicians and nurses, as well as admissions personnel and interpreters who volunteer their time to work in our clinics. St. Mary’s Health Clinics strives to make health care easily accessible to those in need by locating clinics in neighborhoods throughout the metro area and pride ourselves on the special attention we are able to give patients who come to the clinics.

To be eligible for care through St. Mary’s Health Clinics a patient must be without health insurance, and cannot be receiving assistance from any government subsidy program such as Medicare, Medical Assistance, or MinnesotaCare. St. Mary’s Health Clinics cannot provide care for some diagnoses. Unfortunately, SMHC clinics cannot accept walk-ins. For information on eligibility contact 651-287-7777 or inquire at info@stmarysclinics.org.
